My word, that is an astounding thing!

A birdie is one under par.

Vordz o' vizdom Ah 'eard zomevhere:

A Bird in the hand can be very unsanitary.

[Flib Bigboat]

A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush (aka, twice as unsanitary).

[WorshipTiria]

A bird in the hand is a death sentence.

[Kade Rivok]

For who?

[Flib Bigboat]

For the bird, unless it's a cassowary or something.
Then the death sentence is for the person who's holding it.

The bird shouldn't ever die like that unless you squeeze it too much. It's just that a lot of birds are really mean.

[Flib Bigboat]

When I first heard the phrase "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," it was next to a picture of someone holding a black-capped chickadee. I don't think those can hurt you.

[WorshipTiria]

They will try.
What does that saying even mean?

[Ripred the Gnawer]

It means it's better to have one good thing than a bunch of good things you can't get.

[WorshipTiria]

I like birds, but most of them are mean. And it's just rude to birds to hold them.

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

There's a group of mourning doves that live on our roof, a mockingbird that sits on our porch railing every morning, three or four red-tailed hawks that are always circling around our yard, and a pair of geese my sister named Hose and Stepstool who try to build a nest near our pond every year. (But there's also grass snakes and foxes and turtles, so their goslings never survive long enough to hatch, which is sad.) None of these birds are mean. Except for a crazy old cardinal, who spends hours pecking the front of our car every day. We think he's trying to kill his reflection.
